Grassley Statement on New Secret Service Director

Statement

Senator Chuck Grassley released the following comment after President Obama announced that Julia Pierson would be the new Director of the Secret Service

"During the Colombia prostitution scandal, the Secret Service lost the trust of many Americans, and failed to live up to the high expectations placed on it. Ms. Pierson has a lot of work ahead of her to create a culture that respects the important job the agency is tasked with. I hope she succeeds in restoring lost credibility in the Secret Service."
